Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, editor, and photographer who was born in 1928 and died in 1999. He is often thought of as being one of the greatest and most influential directors in all of cinematic history. He is most famous for his horror/thriller film “the Shining” as well as “Clockwork Orange”, “Lolita” and many other famous and incredible films. He inmost well known for his work in the horror genre which is why I wanted to do research in to him and his films (especially The Shining) as they are pieces of work that we could be greatly influenced by for our film opening as they are extremely effective uses of the horror genre and iconography. His work was nominated for many Oscars and BAFTAs over his career as well as winning one oscar and 3 BAFTAs which shows how popular and well made his work was.
“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.”
“Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.”
